Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
• 2 cups diced watermelon
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions: How to Cook Watermelon Fried Chicken

1. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the buttermilk. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to coat evenly.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil and fry for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Serve the watermelon fried chicken hot, topped with diced watermelon and garnished with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy!
